I just got back from a fun weekend in Stockholm. I did lots of things; only a few were caught on camera. Like park hangs, dinner at Flippin' burgers, fading light and pretty buildings. I met my friend Andrea's friend who is also named Hilda - it was the first time meeting another Hilda for both of us.

Last night I went to see The Great Gatsby (in 3D) at the only movie theater in my home town. It's the movie theater by which I measure all other theaters I've been to in my life. No other has ever lived up to this one. It's the perfect size, the chairs are super comfortable, tickets are cheaper than anywhere else. And you can't go wrong with that wallpaper and a ceiling that looks like the ocean. These crappy iPhone shots don't really do it justice. As for the movie, I loved it! The party scenes were fantastic. Apparently only two people showed up to the premiere on Friday, but we were at least fifteen at the last showing...

These are some favorite shots from a short wedding session with Ajin & Teo in Malmö last August. It's not every day you have to roll away ten garbage cans from a cute backstreet and hide under umbrellas every ten minutes waiting for the rain to pass, ha!

A few months ago Norwegian magazine OBOS-bladet commissioned me to style and photograph a feature on "spring fleas". It was published in their April issue which can be downloaded as a pdf here. It was a really fun job and I hope this inspires you to hit up your local flea market!

I never meant to be as vague and secretive about what I'm up to as I've been the past year. I'm just not sure how personal I want this blog to be. Anyway, here's what's happening now. Last week I left my job and the life I've led in Oslo for the past seven months. It was always meant to be for just a little while and I never expected to like it much, to make friends and to miss it afterwards, but that's what happened. The first thing I did when I got back to Sweden was cut all my hair off, which led to a small identity crisis but now I'm starting to feel comfortable in it.

For the summer I'll be staying at my parents' house and working on different projects. Two of those are starting up my shop again to let my book clocks make a comeback, and finally opening up an Etsy vintage shop which I'm really excited about. I really need to de-clutter my life, so a lot of the things I had in my previous apartment in Malmö will be for sale. I have a couple of weddings booked as well, but I would love to shoot more - email me for quotes and details! What I will do after the summer is yet to be determined, I'll tell you when I know. I intend to post here a lot more often from now on, I hope you'll come along!

Pictured above - 1: Market candy, iced coffee and a new book on the porch today before the rain came. 2: Olle, the person who was in my friend Annika's belly. I can't wait to get to know him more. 3: I blew up old photo booth photos of my parents from when they got together at age 17 and had them printed on aluminum plates. 4: My new 'do. I really need to get a wider lens...

There is so much I would like to show and tell you about this day. But I'll let this small selection of photos speak for itself and just give you a few keywords. 45°C (113°F) heat, joy, dancing, family, community and a little more dancing.
